McDermott (illness) isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott missed back-to-back games last week due to an illness but will return to action Wednesday. The Spurs should be close to full strength, so McDermott will presumably handle his usual role as a floor spacer off the bench.

McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott missed Thursday's game against Atlanta due to his illness, and he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set Friday. However, he'll have a few additional days to recover before Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman are candidates for larger roles Friday.

McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was given a questionable designation a few hours before Thursday's tipoff, and he'll officially be unavailable for the first time this season. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman could see increased work against the Hawks.

McDermott is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus Atlanta due to an illness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott has scored in single digits in seven straight games and in 12 of the Spurs' first 15 matchups. The sharpshooter is capable of exploding at any point, but he's just not seeing enough usage to be a reliable fantasy option this season.

McDermott registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott plodded his way to five points in the loss, another in a long line of underwhelming performances. Averaging just 7.6 points per game this season, McDermott sits well outside the top 250 in standard fantasy formats. Given he doesn't fit the current timeline in San Antonio, there is a decent chance he will be traded away at some point. While a move would at least give him a chance to compete, it is unlikely to change the fact that he is a non-factor outside of extremely deep leagues.

McDermott closed Monday's 152-111 loss to the Pacers with 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists and one rebound across 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott continues to fill a perimeter-shooting role off the bench for the Spurs, with the four triples he hit Monday representing a new season high. He led San Antonio in scoring Monday, but it came in the context of emptying the bench amid a blowout loss, as 14 Spurs players logged at least eight minutes.

McDermott amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 victory over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott's floor spacing is a luxury for the Spurs, and he's been hot to start the season with a 54.5 percent clip from beyond the arc. He hasn't played enough to impact most fantasy leagues, however, as he's averaging 14.3 minutes per contest.

McDermott finished Monday's preseason game against the Rockets with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was held out of San Antonio's previous exhibition strictly for rest, but he was given the green light for Monday's action. He was unable to get things going on the offensive end, scoring his only basket from beyond the arc, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. McDermott will have two more chances in the preseason to prove he belongs in the team's rotation.

McDermott is out for Friday's preseason game against the Heat due to rest purposes, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott hasn't suffered an injury but will be held out of Friday's preseason contest as a coach's decision. His next chance to suit up is Monday's preseason matchup with Houston.
